Hi all, I'm a Carpentries instructor but I'm posting here as one of the communications chairs for the SciPy conference this year. I just want to quickly remind people that registration for the conference is open. Please see details below (copied from an email we just sent out).
For this community, let me emphasize that: * we have extended the deadline for financial aid to the end of May * we have dedicated 50% of our scholarship budget this year to underrepresented groups * we have continued our mentorship program that connects student attendees with more experienced developers in their areas of interest SciPy is a very student friendly conference--please share with any you think might be interested. And we of course love to have the Carpentries community participating in SciPy! It's actually where I got trained as an instructor :) Thank you, David David Nicholson, Ph.D. https://nicholdav.info/ https://github.com/NickleDave Prinz lab <http://www.biology.emory.edu/research/Prinz/>, Emory University, Atlanta, GA, USA <https://na.eventscloud.com/emarketing/go.php?i=832850&e=bmljaG9sZGF2QGdtYWlsLmNvbQ==&l=http://www.scipy2021.scipy.org> We're excited to tell you all about the 20th annual Scientific Computing with Python Conference -- also known as SciPy <https://na.eventscloud.com/emarketing/go.php?i=832850&e=bmljaG9sZGF2QGdtYWlsLmNvbQ==&l=https://www.scipy2021.scipy.org/> 2021 <https://na.eventscloud.com/emarketing/go.php?i=832850&e=bmljaG9sZGF2QGdtYWlsLmNvbQ==&l=https://www.scipy2021.scipy.org/> -- that will be held July 12-18, 2021. Registration is now open, with a standard rate of $125 and student rate of $50. We have extended our deadline for financial aid <https://na.eventscloud.com/emarketing/go.php?i=832850&e=bmljaG9sZGF2QGdtYWlsLmNvbQ==&l=https://www.scipy2021.scipy.org/financial-aid> until May 31st, and we have committed 50% of this year’s scholarship budget to support applicants that identify as Black, Indigenous, and People of Color attending SciPy 2021. For the second year in a row, the conference will be completely virtual. Based on our record attendance and positive reception in 2020, we feel that having a virtual component to the conference increases accessibility and we invite people of all experience levels from anywhere in the world to attend. Please let us quickly tell you why you'd want to attend. This annual conference is dedicated to the advancement of scientific computing through open source Python software for mathematics, science, and engineering. Our events and talks allow participants from all types of organizations to showcase their latest projects, to learn from skilled users and developers, and to collaborate on code development. The program will include: * Tutorials * Keynotes and Short Talks * Poster Presentations * Lightning talks * Birds of a Feather sessions * and Networking Events Finally the conference will conclude with two days of Sprints <https://na.eventscloud.com/emarketing/go.php?i=832850&e=bmljaG9sZGF2QGdtYWlsLmNvbQ==&l=https://www.scipy2021.scipy.org/sprints> focused on developing and maintaining open source Python scientific software.
